|
She packed her bags and dressed |
|
Long before the sunrise, no one knew |
|
She told them many times |
|
About how she would teach them and now it's time |
|
Standing quietly by the door |
|
Her face is numb with fear |
|
She stops and then goes on |
|
"Leave forever, it's now or never" |
|
Quickly walking down the street |
|
It's cold and gray, dawn's breaking |
|
She don't mind |
|
(She don't mind) |
|
Why she feels so grown up now |
|
Her life is just beginning |
|
She don't know |
|
(She don't know) |
|
She's standing in the pouring rain |
|
Her make-up's running down |
|
She wonders now she's here |
|
"Where will I go? Who do I know?" |
|
Now, now she's not quite so sure |
|
I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly, now |
|
And they might worry but she doesn't want them to |
|
'Cause causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do |
|
So she's back in bed before |
|
Anyone can miss her |
|
She feels good |
|
(She feels good) |
|
Knowing the chance was there |
|
Deciding not to take it |
|
That's her choice |
|
(That's her choice) |
|
And she's still awake, her mum comes in |
|
"Me and dad, we've had a chat |
|
And we're sorry for the things we said |
|
Please forgive us, you wouldn't leave us" |
